Blown Power Fc Caused By Afm Miswire... Shoot The Electrician!


Recommended Posts

What a sad day =( a week or 2 away from recieving my new turbo kit n i recieved my z32 afm, n i drew up a wiring diagram for a electrician mate to wire up so i could keep both plugs of the afms so i could use one or the other

So he connected the 12V power wire from the car to the signal wire..

took it for a spin with the standard afm.. sweet.. swapped afms plugged in the z32 n it came up 5112mV's on the airflow on the power fc..

5 hours later worked out the power fc was semi dead.. it still turns on and all just wont start the car and the 12V wire to the afm is only putting out 6.8vs, and one of the relays in the back of the car continues to click on and off

standard ecu car starts fine.. and the relay makes no sounds...

so if anyone is a whizz with electronics.. or would know a place that is either familiar with the power fc or possibilibly might be able to fix it plzzz let us know!!

couldnt sleep so i went thru the entire car checking everything =P

found a blown fuse swapped it with the defogger... n she started

didnt even think to check the fuses as the standard ecu started the car fine

Had the same problem on Monday. Thought I was up for a new ECU, even the RAC guy didnt know what the problem was... Thanks to SN1P3R and her boyfriend, we found the blown fuse and the car is back on the road!!

Moral: ALWAYS check your fuses!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
